         CHAPTER I--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (CONTINUED)

 

PART 158_DATA REQUIREMENTS FOR REGISTRATION--Table of Contents

 

                      Subpart A_General Provisions

 

Sec.  158.55  Agricultural vs. non-agricultural pesticides.



    Section 25(a)(1) of FIFRA instructs the Administrator to ``take into 

account the difference in concept and usage between various classes of 

pesticides and differences in environmental risk and the appropriate 

data for evaluating such risk between agricultural and non-agricultural 

pesticides.'' This part distinguishes the various classes of pesticide 

use (e.g., crop vs. non-crop) and the corresponding data necessary to 

support registration under FIFRA. This information is present in each 

data requirement table. In addition, the Use Pattern Index (appendix A) 

is a comprehensive list of pesticide use patterns, cross-referenced to 

the general use patterns appearing in the tables; the index will further 

assist the reader in distinguishing agricultural versus non-agricultural 

uses of pesticides.
